Dancehall Dreamer

Found myself in a barroom

Doin' things I ought not to

Watching my life as it slowly passed me by

I was holding on to lovers

And disregarding others with my lies

Living my whole life like this

I guess, is risky business

Some folks say that I won't last too long

And I can't say I blame them

For saying what they're saying

'Cause right now I'm just holding on

I'm just an old dancehall dreamer

Living my life in the past

Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains

And I don't know how long I can last

So I called out to Jesus

Said Lord, I really need you

You've got to carry me for awhile

I've been running too long

Singing these old tired songs

As the wheels keep turning out the miles

Like I said I'm just a dreamer

But I've gotta keep believing

Someday things will go my way

I'm just running from the devil

I've got one foot on the pedal

While the other one is laid up in the grave

I'm just an old dancehall dreamer

Living my life in the past

Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains

And I don't know how long I can last
